You work as an administrator at ABC.com. The ABC.com network consists of a single domain
named ABC.com. All domain controllers on the ABC.com domain have Windows Server 2008 R2
installed.
The ABC.com network has a member server named ABC_SR07 that has Windows Server 2012
R2 installed.
You are required to promote ABC_SR07 to a domain controller. You log on to SERVER07 and
insert the installation disk.
What would be your next step?
A.
You should run the DCPROMO command on ABC_SR07.
B.
You should run the Install-ADDSDomainControllercmdlet on ABC_SR07.
C.
You should upgrade one of the existing domain controllers to Windows Server 2012 R2.
D.
You should configure the Integration Services settings on ABC_SR07.
E.
You should configure a system sate backup of ABC_SR07.
Explanation:
I dont understand the answer to this question.
Why wouldnt the next step here be to run the install-addsdomaincontroller command

Guys I think it mean adprep /domainprep and forestprep commands. Anyway there’s something is missing on question or answeres…

In Win 2012 R2 adprep is incorporated in configuration wizard, answer is B not C.

Agree.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh472162.aspx
If you do not run adprep.exe command separately and you are installing the first domain controller that runs Windows Server 2012 in an existing domain or forest, you will be prompted to supply credentials to run Adprep commands. The credential requirements are as follows:
To introduce the first Windows Server 2012 domain controller in the forest, you need to supply credentials for a member of Enterprise Admins group, the Schema Admins group, and the Domain Admins group in the domain that hosts the schema master.
To introduce the first Windows Server 2012 domain controller in a domain, you need to supply credentials for a member of the Domain Admins group.
To introduce the first read-only domain controller (RODC) in the forest, you need to supply credentials for a member of the Enterprise Admins group.
noteNote
If you have already run adprep /rodcprep in Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2, you do not need to run it again for Windows Server 2012.

I’m sorry to be rude, but you guys are all being pretty dumb.
You cannot have a Server 2012 R2 domain controller without increasing the forest-functionality and domain-functionality levels.

You can upgrade to a Windows Server 2012 domain in one of two ways.
•
You can upgrade the operating system on existing domain controllers that are running Windows Server 2008.
•
You can add Windows Server 2012 servers as domain controllers in a domain that already has domain controllers running previous versions of Windows Server.

B is the correct answer.

Everybody says correct answer is B when this site marks C as the correct one. How much can I trust this site´s “correct” answers? The last thing we need is confusion. Thanks!

C is the correct.
When adding a new Server2012 R2 Domain Schema gets automatically upgraded. There is no way to stop Schema from upgrading…..
Therefore You should consider upgrading other Domain controllers to 2012 first.

B is correct. The only step b4 this is to install the ADDS role/feature.
0
0
I think answer is C.
Yes, schema is automatically upgraded when installing 2012 DC but here in this question, it doesn’t state that AD DS domain role is installed on server and you cannot run Install-ADDSDomainControllercmdlet unless feature is present therefore from all the answers C is likely the best asnwer.

question clearly states that:
“You log on to SERVER07 and insert the installation disk. server07 is not server that needs to be propoted to DC.Schema canbe upgraded from any Domain computer.

Windows server 2012 r2=2012 r2 domain controller.
Windows server 200 r2= 2008 r2 domain controller.
2012 was not join to 2008 domain controller but promote itself as 2012 domain controller. 2012 server will be use 2008 domain controller if it is joined.
Answer is c for me.

Windows 2012R2 requires a Windows 2003 and higher domain! so the answer is B: Install-ADDSDomainController http://blogs.technet.com/b/askpfeplat/archive/2012/09/03/introducing-the-first-windows-server-2012-domain-controller.aspx and it’s valid for R2 as well. http://kpytko.pl/active-directory-domain-services/adding-first-windows-server-2012-r2-domain-controller-within-windows-200320082008r22012-network/

B is correct.
There is no need to upgrade an existing DC 2008.
You can use Server manager or powershell

Agree on this one. You don’t need to upgrade existing DC. Just tested in a lab environment.
It is really annoying how questions are worded… Not to test your knowledge but to catch you on understanding what exam writers had in mind…

It should be B
http://kpytko.pl/active-directory-domain-services/adding-first-windows-server-2012-domain-controller-within-windows-200320082008r2-network/
To be able to configure Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller within Windows 2003/2008/2008R2 network we need to check if Forest Functional Level is set up at least in Windows 2003 mode.
After you verified IP settings, you can start server promotion to Domain Controller. However, you cannot use old good known dcpromo command as it is not valid anymore

It is B.
See https://adsecurity.org/?p=267
Actually from what I read the next step is to install the “Active Directory Domain Services (ADDS)” before continuing. Then either the server manager is used or the underlying powershell command to kick off the promotion. Nowwhere I can find a reason to promote another dc to windows 2012 r2.

Hi Everyone,
from Microsoft website:
“You can set the domain functional level to a value that is higher than the forest functional level. For example, if the forest functional level is Windows Server 2003, you can set the domain functional level to Windows Server 2003or higher”. So the answer is B

My vote goes for C “You should upgrade one of the existing domain controllers to Windows Server 2012 R2.”
I haven’t checked but I expect that when upgrading an existing DC adprep will be run automatically. Adprep is a requirement before adding DCs of a later version.
